The Wildlife Rescue Centre is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of endangered wildlife, with the ultimate goal of reintroducing these animals into their natural habitats, thus preserving their freedom.

Community centres are welcoming and respectful environments that foster the psychomotor, social, emotional, and overall development of children aged six months to three years, with support from community care assistants.

This program is tailored for genuine nature enthusiasts seeking an eco-adventure and who are open to embracing the modest accommodations provided within the project. Volunteers will have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the jungle environment.

The shelter provides refuge for a diverse range of wildlife, including margays, penguins, blue-footed boobies, tapirs, buffalo, deer, ostriches, yamalas (dwarf deer), cuchuchos, a wide variety of bird species, alligators, peacocks, turtles, and more.
